All N64 Games #42: Mace: The Dark Age

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

Most of what I said about War Gods remains true to Mace: The Dark Age. It’s another bare bones Mortal Kombat clone with a small amount of 3D movement

All N64 Games #40: J.League Dynamite Soccer 64

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

The third Japanese football game has a very different feel to both Konami and EA’s games. On paper, this is easily the worst football game I’ve played so far and yet…it’s oddly enjoyable.

All N64 Games #35: Mahjong Drifters Chronicles Classic

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

All N64 Games #34: Mahjong Road 64

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

The N64’s third Mahjong game and I’m running out out of things to say about Mahjong. The interface improves a little bit over Mahjong 64, but still isn’t as clear as Mahjong Masters.

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

If you need to explain your acronym in the title of the game, don’t use an acronym. “Multi-Racing Championship” is fine on its own.
